Books of 2008

In 2007 I was unsuccessful in reaching my goal of reading 60 books in one year. I didn't even beat the record of 53 books in 2006, but am still fairly satisfied with my efforts that led me to read exactly 51 books last year. So for the third year in a row I'll make the attempt to reach that elusive 60 book target. Let us begin...
